Perfect for gaining a fresh perspective

Some clients benefit immensely from stepping out of their typical daily work environment and finding inspiration in nature. Studies have consistently shown the positive and tangible effects of nature on clearing the mind, refocusing our thoughts, and acting as a catalyst for change.

As a coach based on the beautiful Sussex Coast, Yvette has welcomed clients from all over the world to experience the transformative power of outdoor sessions. Any coaching topic can be discussed during these sessions, and the change of scenery often inspires self-awareness and natural progress in ways that traditional indoor sessions cannot match.

“I had a particularly difficult challenge to face, and stepping outside the usual work environment inspired me to think differently and find a fresh approach”

Charlie Nyren
Head of Sales Development, Bupa Global North America

Career Coaching for individuals

Career coaching can rekindle the passion for your work, put you back in the driving seat of your career, and prepare you for interviews, presentations, team leadership and more.

According to research, it takes 6 months for senior level recruits to get fully up to speed in their new roles. By hiring a transition coach during the first 100 days, that time can be halved. Your new executive can make a positive impact more quickly.

The programme is customised to the individual. It begins with a discovery meeting, followed by 4 one-to-one sessions over the first 3 months.

Your senior recruit receives valuable support as they navigate the environment, meet fresh challenges and settle into your company culture. The programme consolidates your investment in the new hire, makes them feel valued, and maximises their chances of success.

Coaching beyond the 100 days is available, for more information and details on how this works:

“Yvette’s programme was an incredibly worthwhile investment and instrumental in helping me focus, prioritise, overcome challenges and make a successful impact in my first 3 months”

Commercial and Operations Director, Arcadis

A ‘Personal Brand’ is the essence of you. Consciously understanding your personal brand within your job role helps to elevate credibility, position you as an authority within your area of expertise and increase influence.

What to expect:

An insightful, interactive in-depth one to one session. Here you will develop a deeper understanding of who you are, appreciate what you bring to the table as a senior leader, learn to step into your power and start owning it. You can expect to articulate your personal brand positively to others, present your value in everyday interactions and enhance your leadership style. Benefiting from Yvette’s extensive experience of coaching leaders, this is an immersive session with the opportunity for individual reflection to successfully identify your own ‘Personal Brand’.

“Very rarely do you get a chance to really consider your own brand – too often managing upwards and downwards. This was a great opportunity to really understand my own DNA”

Tom Cartledge, CEO
Handley House Group

The Power Hour is dedicated to helping clients declutter and get into a winning mindset before an important meeting. It’s a time to organise thoughts, cement ideas, and narrow down outcome objectives to the most critical focus.

This 60-minute coaching session before an important career event is delivered close to an event. Because it is scheduled outside of the usual coaching structure, it is designed to be dynamic, agile, and needs-based. This type of coaching has proven to be transformational for my clients’ most important events helping them create the influence they had visualized for themselves from the outset.

“We all have those crunch moments when we need to make a big impact. Yvette’s Power Hour proved to be the perfect preparation, helping me turn ideas into a compelling story, considering how to pitch to different stakeholders and focussing on successful outcomes.”

Michael Cervenka, Head of Future Technologies Group,
Rolls-Royce plc

Team Development Services

Learning and developing as a team promotes deeper understanding of individual preferences and behaviours leading to a more focused, united team ready to enable an organisation to thrive.

As a qualified and highly experienced MBTI® practitioner, Yvette uses the MBTI® as a platform to reveal how people communicate and how to increase their awareness and understanding of others' differing personality types and how they affect an organisation's progression.

Applying Steps 1 and 2 of MBTI® coaching centres around strengths, identifying blind spots, communication style and decision making. This new, deeper understanding of self and others helps inspire new levels of effectiveness, improve working relationships, and enhance productivity for individuals, teams and entire organisations — delivering powerful results particularly at points of career transition and organisational change.

“Yvette delivered a virtual MBTI session to our Strategy Team in the US. It was a huge success! She kept us all engaged, brought it to life and helped us understand how to apply the learnings back in to the business. We learned so much about ourselves, our teammates and how to both complement and challenge each other in a balanced way.”

Kim Crane, Growth Office Project Manager, Avanade

In organisations with a coaching culture, the benefits filter down to all — so this programme is designed to equip your leaders with coaching skills.

They discover how to nurture, inspire and empower others to become the best they can be.

We look at a leader’s 5 essential roles — expert, manager, leader, mentor, coach — how to switch between them, and when to focus on the role of coach.

Using real-life scenarios, the programme helps leaders develop the art of active listening and skilful questioning. They learn to use the GROW model to pinpoint, unlock and harness potential within a team.

As a leader, you may spend too much time `doing’ — providing answers, solving problems. On this program, you discover how to enable others to take ownership of obstacles, and the means to overcome them.

During practical exercises, you gain insights into your own leadership style. You also get the chance to practise your new skills and receive constructive feedback.

Back in the workplace, you can put your coaching skills into practice straight away. Team members will feel valued and become more accountable, leaving you free to focus on strategy and innovation. For your organisation, productivity rises in tandem with your reputation as a go-to employer.

“This course added real value to our leadership team, and I would highly recommend it to any leader with people managers.”

Emma Maslen,
Managing Director UK & I Enterprise SAP/Concur

Assertiveness is the confident, positive and empathetic voice used to express yourself clearly in situations where you want to be heard. In many ways it's the foundation of respectful professional relationships.

Lack of assertiveness can lead to stress, and it may even limit your career progression. Assertive behaviour, on the other hand, increases your impact and influence at work.

In this workshop, you discover how to communicate your feelings, opinions and needs whilst retaining the goodwill and respect of your colleagues.

We explore the differences between aggressive, passive and assertive behaviour — and you’ll gain insight into your own communication style. You learn how to identify your own needs and set boundaries; how to recognise limiting thoughts; how to overcome barriers and break patterns.

If you’ve ever said `yes’ when you mean `no’, or not spoken up when you have something to say, this workshop will be transformative. Equally, if you sometimes come across as too heavy-handed, you’ll discover how to assert your rights whilst respecting the feelings, beliefs and rights of others.

This workshop is an opportunity to try out assertive skills in a safe environment. You can practise the language and phrases which help frame future conversations — even difficult conversations — and learn non-verbal techniques which reduce stress, drama and conflict.

You can expect to leave with confidence in your communication abilities, excited about putting your newly acquired skills into practice.

The workshop usually takes place with a small group to create an open, trusting environment.

“An excellent workshop on fine- tuning your communication skills. It really defines how to address other professionals in a way that enables connection, influence and buy- in.

Yvette created a fun format and kept everyone engaged and on their toes! She is one of the best facilitators I’ve worked with – and I’ve worked with a lot in my 25 years in the business.”

Chris Winn,
Senior Director, NorthEast Region Security Leader – Avanade

Imposter syndrome is a topic that regularly comes up in coaching conversations and often emerges during periods of growth and change.

Common amongst senior leaders, ‘Imposter Syndrome’ describes the difficulty that many high-achieving individuals face in recognising, valuing and owning their success.

If you’ve ever felt like a ‘fraud’, lucky to have reached where you are or feel you’re not as well qualified as others think you are, then this workshop is for you. You will benefit from Yvette’s experiences of working with industry leaders as she reveals ways you can increase your leadership impact and gives you the resources needed to achieve this.

You will leave with powerful and proven techniques you can use to overcome this, believe in your value and ultimately remove this barrier – enabling you to progress your own career even further and enjoy continued growth.

Please note: This workshop is ideally run with a small group where a trusted environment can be created.

“I had the pleasure of joining a breakfast workshop led by Yvette on ‘Imposter Syndrome’- It’s something most people will experience in their career. Together with 10 inspiring women we unpacked what this meant and left the workshop with our personal prescription of ‘Imposter Busters!’ “

Transformational Director – BT Consumer Division

We all experience setbacks. However, we have a choice in how we respond to them. That choice is determined by mindset — whether we lean towards a fixed mindset, or a growth mindset.

People with a fixed mindset often shy away from risk. They generally prefer to stay in their comfort zone, avoiding effort and perseverance because it reduces the risk of failure. They sit still, while others fearlessly grasp opportunities and move forward.

For those with a growth mindset, setbacks are an opportunity to evolve and learn. They embrace challenges, see effort as the reward, and failure as inspiration to succeed. It’s the difference between `I don’t know’ and `I don’t know yet’.

Most of us are a mix of both, but if you’ve found yourself saying, ‘I can’t do that’, or ‘That’s not my strength’, you’ve already experienced a fixed mindset.

In this interactive workshop, you’ll discover which mindset influences your decision-making.

If a fixed mindset is capping your potential, I help you turn it around and transform your thinking. With a growth mindset, you give yourself the chance to succeed. You open the door to new experiences and life-changing opportunities.

Yvette delivered an inspirational 1 hour workshop to 35 members across our Nordic territory. It really helped the team to bond, and challenged our thinking on how to support each other and approach our business with a growth mindset. We still refer to this session today!

Regional Sales Director – SAP Concur, Sweden
